“I believe that meaningful floral designs come from a deep connection to the land and the season — not from a wholesale catalog.”
AMERICAN GROWN
THE STORYA flower farm rooted
in intention
Hi, I’m Nicole — the farmer, florist, and certified Master Gardener behind Breemar Flower Farm in Ashland, VA. On our one-acre farm tucked in the heart of Central Virginia, I grow peonies, roses, dahlias, and seasonal perennials using sustainable practices that put the soil first.
What started as a deep love for growing things has grown into a full-service flower farm specializing in farm-grown wedding and event flowers, private Petal Party workshops, and seasonal farm-fresh arrangements for the community I call home.
Every stem I use — whether grown right here or sourced from a trusted American grower — is chosen with care. I believe that when you know where your flowers come from, the designs they become feel more meaningful.

Why farm-grown flowers matter
Most cut flowers sold in the United States are imported — grown overseas under conditions that prioritize volume over quality, and shipped thousands of miles before they ever reach a vase.
At Breemar, every stem is either grown on our Ashland farm or sourced from American growers we trust. That means fresher flowers, longer vase life, and designs that reflect what’s actually in season — not what’s available on a wholesale import list.
It also means supporting American agriculture, reducing the environmental footprint of your flowers, and getting arrangements that feel genuinely unique because they are.
THE PHILOSPHYone
START IN THE SOIL
The best designs begin long before the arrangement — they start with what's planted, what's growing, and what the season is offering.

SEASONAL, ALWAYS
Working with what's in season means every arrangement is distinct, honest, and far more beautiful than anything forced out of season.

AMERICAN-GROWN, RARELY IMPORTED
Every supplemental stem is sourced from American farms. Your flowers support local agriculture — all the way down the supply chain.
